Practical guide: apply the soldiers’ routine at home

No military training is needed to try it! Here are the steps to follow:

Relax your facial muscles: start with your forehead, relax your eyes, then your jaw. Each tension will gradually disappear.
Relax your upper body: shoulders, arms, hands… Imagine your limbs becoming heavy and sinking into the mattress.
Breathe consciously: inhale deeply through your nose, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Your heart rate will slow down.
Relax your legs: hips, thighs, calves, all the way down to your feet. Let gravity do its work.
Visualize a calming scene: a verdant clearing, a starry sky, or snowflakes gently falling. This mental image will soothe intrusive thoughts.
Results: a tip validated by experience?
According to Justin Agustin, 96% of practitioners manage to fall asleep in less than two minutes after six weeks of practice. Like any routine, it requires consistency and patience. Results vary depending on anxiety levels, sleep hygiene, and digital habits. But the feedback remains largely positive: this technique could well become your secret weapon for more peaceful nights.
